I realize now that my question could have sounded like a quiz, depending on what you attach "which only I know" to.
Let me rephrase:
I would like him to explain the meaning of his full fake name. Here is his full fake name, which only I know:
TANSIN AROGAN DARCOS
I do not, however, know the meaning, which is why I asked the question.
I made up the name because
(1) I was a big fan of the Fortran Language, and three of the mathematical functions were (A) double-precision arccosine, which, because Fortran 66 has a 6-character name size limit, was "Darcos", (B) the functions for tangent and sine, TAN and SIN, respectively.
(2) I wanted to create a name with 6 letters in each word, to "thumb my nose" at those people who think the Antichrist woul be someone who has a name with 6 letters in each of their three names.
And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six
- Revelation 13:16-18
(3) I wanted the middle name to start with A. You may or may not remember this, Ben, I had a contest on every BBS in the general area offering a prize for someone who could think of a name starting with A that was 6 letters. I don't know if someone thought of it, or I did, but I decided on the word "arrogant" only drop one R and cut it at 6 letters.
"And now you know, the rest of the story."
- Paul Harvey
And you may remember my old sign-off:
Paul Robinson is "Tdarcos, the Standard of Immorality" or
Tansin Arogan Darcos of the District of Columbia territory of the United States
"Grind our enemes into the dust, and drown them in their own gore."
"Exploiting humanity since 1983."
"Above all else... We shall go on..."
"...And continue!"
I think it's been ten years since I used that.
